13: TEA: Sharon Barton - Well, Why Not.
Really, to know what this conversation with Sharon Barton is about - you've got to listen to the episode. Sharon Barton is retired but busy! She's worked in public health, education, and fundraising. I knew her during her time as a fundraiser for the symphony in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
We did spend some time on the value of the arts in education. The arts increase our human literacy skills. They are wonderful educational choices. However, they have been overlooked in STEM approaches, which is why I (Mursalata) like to spell STEAM like this steAm (for now).
During our conversation, she talked about education by any means necessary and other topics. I am happy to share this conversation. I hope you listen to all the segments! The following items were lifted directly from the STEAM entry on Wikipedia:

NOTE: I'm feeling a little self-conscious about not putting a "?" at the end of my title sentence "Well, Why Not" - but the way Sharon says,"why not" at the end of this episode - to my ears - "why not" sounds like a statement to a limited way of thinking, not an invitation to keep talking.
